What guideline would you suggest? Given that we can only have one kind
of packaging currently, it seems that there is little choice but to have
some kind of guideline for which to use when there are several.

Sleeves are essentially two-dimensional with just a fold at the edges,
while slipcases have distinct sides (four or five).

If/when we gain the ability to have multiple packaging types, I would
certainly suggest that the packaging guideline for which single one to
use be removed or replaced with something applicable.
Until then, we do need some kind of guideline.
